Good morning,
Here is a quick update on the new work station rollout:
. The purchasing department has finalized the negotiation with HP. The "HP revolve" (see attached fact sheet) is now referenced in the global distribution contract and will benefit of the ACCOR/ HP SLA.
. The Equipment rollout is based on the users' normal laptop/pc renewal date (see attached rollout planning, including the list of users par sales office with the planned deployment date). The new work station is only made for Sales people (KAM, SAM, National Account Managers) and not for Back office or group desk staff.
. The IT department has finalized the technical validations and delivered last week the “Windows 8 – ACCOR Master” that will make possible a global deployment.
. The HP revolve was tested on the field with all ACCOR softwares.
. Pilote feedback from sales users is very positive
The rollout process is the following:
1. The country IT manager will propose you to renew your staff members devices at their renewal date by an "HP revolve". They will provide you the "order form", which you will have to sign.
2. The IT manager will deliver the “HP revolve” fully integrated within the ACCOR IT environment.
3. A Windows 8 basic induction will be delivered to the new end-user by your EasyPitch Ambassador.
Please let me know should you have any further questions.
